Port Logan fish pond is a must as you won’t see another place like it. Created by a blow hole formed sometime during the ice age, it is a tidal pool which enabled the Victorians to keep their fish for the table fresh.
Both the Mull of Galloway and Port Logan were used as locations for the 2018 film starring Gerard Butler, The Vanishing.
Portpatrick is another lovely coastal village with its quaint shops and cliff top walks. It is the start of the Southern Upland Way, easy for you to walk a little part of it. Look out for the cliff top Grand Designs house along the cliffs.
